HRT-220 Field Experiences in Horticulture

This is a capstone course to both the Horticulture degree and certificate. Students will combine the following: several short classroom sessions with at least fifty (50) hours of individual experience in the field, and the horticulture exit exam. Classroom topics will include review in major subject categories, career opportunities, tools for successful achievement of employment, and professional certifications. Field experience opportunities can be suggested by faculty or by the student and will vary with student interest. The horticulture exit exam is both written and walking and includes identification of plants, pests, diseases, IPM, soils, and tools common to horticulture.
